The following setup allowed me to connect to the serial console:
* devstack's "local.conf": http://paste.openstack.org/show/481841/
* Nova version: commit 415b221e3345e332f78c9833c2e4e7f0d38bf9c5
* Launch and access via CLI: http://paste.openstack.org/show/481840/

Things to consider
==================
* When trying out things with devstack, sometimes things won't get
  cleaned up very well, try:
    $ make unstack
    $ make clean
    $ make stack

* Enable the "nova-serialproxy" service in devstack:
    # local.conf
    enable_service n-sproxy

* You can check if the connection with telnet is possible:
    $ telnet 127.0.0.1 10005

* You could give larsks's "novaconsole" [1] a try:
    $ novaconsole my-server

Notes
=====
* Please be aware that only one connection at a time to a serial console
  port of an instance is allowed.
* The option "vnc_enabled" is deprecated in favor of the 
  option "enabled" in the new section "vnc" in the "nova.conf" file
